Picnic in Sign Language

Learn how to sign picnic. What will you pack for a treat?

1. Bring both hands up about chest height, palms flat and hands touching.
2. Brush hands back and forth together a couple of times.
3. This sign looks like you are really excited to have a picnic. Use this visual to help you remember the sign.

Teaching Tips:

Plan a picnic together. Let your child choose some of her favorite foods to pack and assist in preparation and packing. You can go somewhere special, or just enjoy the backyard. Practice your sign for picnic as you prepare!

Song games for kids often teach a skill – such as memory! Play “I’m Going on the Picnic”. The first person starts in a sing-song voice, “I’m going on a picnic and I am bringing (choose item)!” The next person says, “I’m going on a picnic and I am bringing (item first person said) AND (a new item)”. Keep going until you can no longer remember the list of things people are bringing. Sign picnic each time!
